Pensacola power restoration underway; boil water notice remains in effect

Recovery operations are actively underway across Pensacola following Hurricane Isaias, with significant progress on restoring utilities to residents.

Florida Power & Light has restored power to approximately 50,000 customers countywide as of Sunday morning, with additional service coming back online throughout the day, according to a City of Pensacola update. FPL crews have cautioned that there may be a delay between when service is actually restored and when outage maps on their website reflect those changes.

Meanwhile, the Escambia County Utilities Authority is maintaining a systemwide boil water notice for all customers in its service area. ECUA said residents should not drink or cook with tap water until the notice is lifted. The precautionary measure was issued to protect public health in the wake of the storm.

The City of Pensacola said recovery crews continue working to restore full services to the community.
